Unexpected is a step up from the previous few Heroes episodes
tavm23 February 2007
Warning: Spoilers
When we last saw Claire with her mom, Mrs. Bennett had lost all memory. Claire leaves to get her younger brother and finds her mom get her memory back. A few minutes later, however, Mrs. Bennett collapses. The agent that frees Hiro pulls a gun on him. Seems he wants a piece of the showgirl's action. The showgirl and Ando stop which is when Ando discovers her riches and gets a gun pulled on him. Matt gives his wife the diamond ring he took from the dead guy he guarded. Wife calls to get ring extended and finds out about the stolen merchandise. Matt's about to turn them in when he gets a call from Ted (the guy who can set fire on himself) and his new female partner who can use her mind to type on the internet. Mohinder and Syler, who the former still thinks is the guy he was looking for last week, find Dale, a mechanic who can can hear sounds a hundred miles or so away. She plays rap music on her walkman to keep the loud sounds from bothering her. Mohinder and Syler offer to help the next day but she turns up dead by then. Syler had murdered her the previous night and now finds himself overwhelmed with her power. Issac asks HRG to help find Peter with Simone doing the same with Issac and Nathan. Peter and Claude are doing painful test battles when HRG and the Haitian man find them. At this point Peter confidently uses his powers that he's encountered over the last few months and flies himself and Claude out of the pursuers way. HRG gets a phone call from Claire to come home because of his wife's condition. As the showgirl and the agent battle it out, Hiro and Ando run to a bus luggage cabin and apologize to each other. Just as the showgirl is about to shoot them, Hiro regains his powers and prevents the bullet from hitting them. He then leaves Ando to his car as he takes the next bus. Claire lashes out at her father for all the deception he's done. After the Bennetts arrive home, they are held up by Matt, Ted, and the Internet girl (sorry, don't know her name yet). Peter confronts Issac about his telling HRG about his whereabouts and destroys his paintings while turning invisible. Issac uses the gun given him by HRG and shoots at wherever invisible Peter strikes but he ends up shooting Simone who Peter had tried to protect by making her invisible too. They both look on at Simone's dead body...Wow, more action packed than the previous few episodes. Loved seeing Marvel honcho Stan Lee as the bus driver Hiro encounters. Claire's father sure got what he deserved from his daughter but what's he going to do now that he knows what she knows? When will Mohinder find out about Sylar? Will Peter and Issac reluctantly team up? And where is Hiro going? Hope the next episode turns out to be more exciting. Until next time...

Stan Lee

I found it interesting to see Stan Lee of marvel Comics driving the bus. This leads me to believe that my assumptions are correct that this could be a prequel to X-Men. All of the elements are there as are the super powers. Also it seems Stan makes and appearance in everything he write or produces. I would love to see X-men on the small screen, however, I think to come right out with it would be a dud. This is a good way to sneak it in to the general public. Will we have crossover heroes such a Thor, Spiderman, Cable? I see the sky being the limit for this show, but how will some of the supervillans be introduced? The ones with never ending superpowers?

Chapter Sixteen 'Unexpected'
Prismark1016 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
A seal of approval from Stan Lee for Heroes. He turns up as a bus driver.

Claire is concerned that her mother has memory issues.

Sylar is accompanying Mohinder in his search for people with abilities. I guess Mohinder already suspects that something is odd about Sylar.

It is another story where the world of Heroes criss cross with each other but there is a lack of heroics.

It is still a world where Sylar has the upper hand while everyone else gets sidetracked.

Matt Parkman encounters Ted Sprague and a woman who can dial into wifi. Matt has a lot of explaining to do regarding diamonds.

More intriguing. You learn just a little more about Claude Rains as he trains Peter Petrelli. Claude really is one of the more interesting characters.
